"Frankly, Intel's Server Farm announcement got my heart going pitty-pat: am I missing something or isn't that just a huge endorsement of server resident software?" Hi Mike(the other, other Mike), Well I wish I could say the INTC hosting services was CTXS related. I haven't read the details, but I think it has little or nothing to do with CTXS (If anyone can correct me, that would be great!). I believe INTC is just getting into the plain old web site hosting game and are going to compete with a bunch of the smaller players. Intel is of course, hoping to capitalize on their brand name. Not a bad idea but I don't see how this is going to increase processor sales? But that probably isn't INTC's point and....well I better quit because I'm going OT again. MikeM(From Florida)

Mike, I lifted the following from the Citrix Site. From my scarce knowledge of this, I would believe that Citrix will enable the implementation of a concept which George Gilder wrote about a few years back. IE Virtually all large applications will be run on "application servers" which may be at any remote location(s). The user will be at a "thin client/ dumb terminal" and be completely unaware that he/she is not connected to a local area network; or for that matter, that the application is not running in his/her own machine. Of course, other servers, located anywhere, will serve as data sources or depositories. BTW I bought into CTXS this week. Best regards, Mardy. 1.
